i HATE that he's supposed to love his so called "children" but he makes them suffer, and puts them through such hardships its impossible for me to beliefe that someone that is supposed to love everything, appears to hate it.
i HATE that according to his "children" he ordered them to slaughter millions of innocent pagans, men, women, and children for not believing in him
i HATE that so many prayers for things that are required for survival, or that are needed to ease hardships go unanswered
so why in the hell would i want to praise a god like that?
yes i acknowledge his existence, but i also acknowledge the existence of evolution and its principles, if thats difficult for you to understand so be it

Endless sufferings, if it is testing time, how long will it last ?
Innocent children murdered and raped, why this is allowed to go on ? Numerous prayers and from the deepest corners of the heart's but nothing works. Pain and sufferings of the
war victims, war goes on and on.
The clever cheats are the followers of Satan who seem tobe winning all the time while the faithful , the obedient followers are always kept poor and are always working to get their two square meals a day while the rich and the wealthy flourish. They break all rules and are branded top citizens.
In most of the countries the rule of the rowdies works and they
easily become politicians and rules the innocent and obedient people.
How long can anyone remain calm and start getting doubts
about the teachings of God whom noone claims to have seen. How long ?

I have to go with yeilding to inborn desires, a need to be independent, and the choice to take a calculated risk for some pleasure/fufillment.
We each must weigh the reward for the each action with the possible consequences. Then decide which if the benefits/thrill/reward outweighs the risk. Immediate satisfaction often seems more important than far off indeterminate risks.
Of course we each must weigh the cost benefit ratio of our actions, God or no God.

Not understanding how it is we stand and fight, many fall down, groaning the whole time.
A knowledge of God, Christ, and creation are prerequisite to overcoming the temptations that deliver a mortal to sinful acts.

According to the bible we are all born with a spirit of rebellion. That would also include Christians, so it is in our nature to do so.

Impatience, animal desires, the pursuit of pleasure, pride- the desire to be important, to dominate others (power), desire to be loved by others (fame), fear that the truth will some how hurt us or others, etc.
